  • @MaxGiganteum
    @MaxGiganteum 17 годин тому

    -- Well Richard, as I see it, you committed at least a few cardinal sins, unless I'm mistaken: 1. You never pulled the valve cover. 2. You never positively identified your engine. 3. You never checked to make sure that the firing order was correct. 4. You never checked to ensure the distributor was positioned correctly in relation to the origin cylinder to fire at the appropriate time. AND FOR THE LOVE OF DAVE! STOP GRINDING, GRINDING, GRINDING AWAY WHEN IT'S OBVIOUS SOMETHING IS WRONG!! 3-4 seconds at most of no action? STOP and rest! Re-evaluate then go again. Don't turn yourself into another version of Kevin Brown... you'll end up bending push rods, breaking rocker arms and/or doing all sorts of other damage to an engine and end up wishing you hadn't. Now that I've got that off my chest... Here's one of the rules to follow if you're going to be a "will it run" guy - always use your borescope to peer into each cylinder after you remove the spark plugs. Do it before spraying in any lubrication so that you get the best view of what's inside each combustion chamber. Also if possible, use your borescope to look down inside the intake manifold runners to ensure that there are no obstructions. This is especially important if the air filter assembly is not on top of the carb or the air filter is missing. Next, you ALWAYS pull the valve covers on a long dormant engine. You proceed to slowly turn the crankshaft by hand while watching the valve train so that you can see if there is anything obviously amiss. Something else you should always do, if possible based on the engine design, is to pull the distributor and spin up the oil pump shaft until you get oil to the valvetrain. Not only will the engines be easier to start, you're far less likely to have any damage occur due to a lack of lubrication and oil pressure. Something you can do as a basic check if you suspect slop in a timing chain is to put a wrench on the crank shaft. Slowly move it back and forth in a small arc while you intently watch the rotor on the distributor - if a brand new timing chain is installed, you will not have any free play. In other words, the rotor on top of the distributor will move any time the crank moves. However, the more of a delay there is between you turning the crank by hand back and forth and you noticing movement at the rotor means you have more and more slop in the timing chain. No, this doesn't apply to engines that do not have a timing chain & gear set. Example? The Ford 240 & 300 I-6 engines don't use a timing chain & gears, they use a gear set with no chain. The only way you'll get even a minimal amount of slop with a gear set only engine is if the gears are heavily worn or teeth are missing. So, you suspect the engine in question of not having good compression and that's why it won't fire. You may very well be correct in your guesstimation. If you had pulled the valve cover, you would have at least been able to see the rocker arms & valve stems going through the motions. If the engine has a couple of stuck valves you'll never get it to fire until you correct the problem of the stuck valves. Obviously, being able to test the compression on each cylinder is valuable. However, a simple visual check at the onset at least tells you whether or not you can expect to get any compression in any given cylinder. That's another reason as to why it's important to pull the valve covers from square one. So what am I thinking off the top of my head right now? Stuck valves and quite possibly a broken timing chain or shredded gears. Other folks have mentioned a clogged exhaust system and that too will prevent an engine from running but I'm skeptical of that at this juncture. I've also considered that vermin got into the intake and it's clogged with rat's nest or the like. That may be why you've got little vacuum at the carb. Since I'll freely admit I'm not familiar with IH or AMC, I am speculating that there is a timing chain and gear set on that engine - I might be wrong but I hope you do consider my advice as previously written. It's also possible that the ignition system has an issue or issues such as a weak spark. I'm skeptical of that based on what I saw in the video but I won't rule it out either. By the way, an engine that is completely out of time may not actually fire at all. You've got at least to be in the ballpark. Here's what I do if I switched places with you: 1. Pull the valve cover and check for stuck valves/broken parts. 2. Positively ID the engine. 3. Ensure the timing is set up correctly based on factory specs. 4. Rebuild or swap out the carb for a known good unit. 5. If there are no stuck valves then do a compression test using a screw in type gauge. If everything checks out, you still have a timing issue, an electrical issue or something is amiss in the ignition system such as needing to bypass a resistor, etc. As I stated, I'm not familiar with IH or AMC so I can't give any finer advice. I tend to liken AMC to Mopar and the screwy things they seemingly did back in the day with their ignition systems so the bottom line is you've got to know how to deal with what they built specifically. As with all else, you've just got to establish the facts and start from square one. At the end of the day, I certainly hope you find success in your next attempt. You will either succeed or there will be a root cause as to why you cannot without taking further and more in-depth action. If that proves to be the case, at least you'll know the reason why the engine won't run. Best wishes to you both! - Max Giganteum

    • @whattherust
      @whattherust 9 годин тому

      Thank you for the detail, Max. Much appreciated. I agree that the valve cover should have come off. No excuses for me not doing that. The AMC six uses a timing chain, and I didn't see any slop in the rotor movement in relation to the crank, so I think there aren't any issues there. I looked all over the junkyard for a carb, but there were few, and all were junk. When the compression gauge broke, I knew that a good diagnosis would be tough. I'll be taking another crack at it. I was lulled into a false state of security because the engine spun so easily. Next time I will be more systematic.

    Cool old Corn Binder! I don't think that air cleaner was stock for that truck. It almost looks like a late 70's-early 80's Ford inline 6 air cleaner. Back in 71, I don't think they had that flap on the end of the intake that opens up as the engine warms. Warm air from the exhaust manifold would be routed to the big round fitting on the bottom of the air intake snorkel and would feed the carb to help the engine warm up faster. That was called TAC, or thermal air cleaner, and was a smog item that I don't think came along that early. And the air cleaner metal looked to be aluminum? By the way, that hose that came off of the air cleaner would have been just a breather line hooked to the valve cover, no PCV would be in that hose, just a regular open hose. Thanks you two for taking us along on your adventures! Take care, and stay cool!

Although I am not really familiar with the IH trucks of that range of years, I do know that any of the trucks and equipment used around the natural gas pipeline crews were equipped with grounding straps that were attached to the body of the vehicle that drug against the ground to eliminate static electricity to prevent static electricity from setting off explosions when working near live natural gas pipelines and such. Like you, I am not very sure about the ground braid from the firewall to the hood, But I believe that I have seen this maybe with a few of the older Fords. Those IH 4X4 trucks were very awesome in their pulling ability, But were usually geared very low. Unfortunately the IH trucks were very prone to the rotted out floorboards. When I started my career with the highway department in the early 1990s,We still had a few of the smaller IH trucks in our fleet of equipment and trucks which were being used until they were replaced for a newer truck. We had one 1 ton IH truck that was equipped with a spray unit for weed control along the right of way. You had to be careful when you first got in to drive the truck because you could put the truck into gear to take off and step on the brake and would literally make you feel like you were going through the windshield. After that first experience, The brakes were pretty normal feeling. As a new employee, I was immediately told by the supervisor to go bring the truck into the garage which after the “Experience” drove the truck into our garage with several “Very Amused” coworkers asking how the brakes were. Oh the stories that I could tell.

      That is interesting info. I could easily envision that door logo to be from a gas company, maybe even Southern Company Gas, which uses a triangle. The hood ground would align well with a gas company truck too. Thanks for the detail, it is a good story.

    Seems he has has a lot of vehicles that could be restored and driving again instead of letting them rot and rust away. Only 1k likes an 12,615 views, this is a training class on what you can do to get a vehicle running as to the other you tube videos.

      Thanks for the feedback. This video is not doing too well, but it sometimes happens when the vehicle is not a well-known vehicle. Thanks for the support.

    You found a handle to a cross cut saw under the hood of the 50 Chevy.
